This youtube comment section captures perfectly one of the reasons I hate reddit (lemmy.ml)

Stating obvious shit like it was some hidden piece of wisdom? Inability to handle subtleties like "lying" vs. "saying an incorrect statement"? Voting system? People repeating the same shit over and over, without reading the others' comments?

EDIT: I'm highlighting that this YT comment section shows a lot of things to hate in Reddit. In some aspects they're behaving exactly like redditors; in some they're actually doing it better, even if YT is a cesspool of idiocy.

Point 1 & 3 basically. Every thread where there's an obvious subtext it seems like the top 5 comments are telling you about it while patting themselves on the back for figuring out while seemingly not having read any of the other comments.
